Olmsted Erratic. Yosemite National Park. August 13, 2004. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

Feeling lazy this morning, I have posted an older photo that is a favorite.

Olmsted Point is the renowned Yosemite high country overlook on the Tioga Pass Road. In one direction you see Clouds Rest and Half Dome, in the other the famous view of Tenaya Lake and the domes and peaks beyond.

These glacial erratics (rocks left behind by a retreating glacier) are a short walk from the parking lot. Spectacular thunderstorms were developing all over the Sierra on this afternoon.

Unfortunately, as much as I like this photo it will never make a very large print. It was taken on a camera that does not provide an extremely sharp image and a significant amount of cropping was necessary.
